Solution

1+sin2θ=3sinθcosθDivide both sides of the equation with cos2θ 1cos2θ+sin2θcos2θ=3sinθcosθsec2θ+tan2θ=3tanθ1+tan2θ+tan2θ=3tanθ1+2tan2θ3tanθ=0Substitute tanθ=a2a23a+1=0Solve the quadratic equation to find out the roots.2a22aa+1=02a(a1)1(a1)=0(2a1)(a1)=02a1=0 and (a1)=02a=1 and a=1a=12 and a=1 Hence a=tanθtanθ=12 and tanθ=1
